Fun Stuff > ENJOY
Bad cartoons you remember growing up!

You know what is fun? Lurking. Yep. Especially when you are new. It's nice to ease your feet into the sea before taking a big plunge. To get a feel for the water. Lurking is a lot like that. Maybe you should give it a try! No one likes to dive into a big pool of water, before testing the water, only to discover that not only is it ice cold, but also very very shallow. That could even be dangerous!
Also, you may want to take a gander at the Hi, I'm New! forum. It is a great place for new people like yourself. Very helpful too.

Hey here's an idea, how about instead of just looking at how many stars are next to my name you actually read the post and possibly add your input related to saturday morning cartoons! What do you think about that idea?
I can understand giving me hell when I actually am being a stupid newb but this is just newb bashing for the sake of newb bashing.
Emaline:
I am sorry that you read my post as bashing. I was honestly trying to be helpful! Please reread it, and look into the things I suggested doing. It is almost required that all new members at least read the Hi, I'm New! forum, and/or lurk. Lurking will honestly help you get feel for the board. As with ever webboard, this one is quite unique! We do things differently around here, and it is frowned upon when someone new starts making a number of threads. Honestly, the Hi, I'm New! forum is filled with helpful hint for new posters, like yourself.

Lurking is good. It can be okay to jump right in with the posts, but if you don't create a thread in Hi I'm New people will notice and call you out on it.
Also, it's kind of the unwritten rule that newbs don't start topics unless you have a really good idea and a fantastic first post to start it off. This topic, to me, gets about 6/10 for idea and 3/10 for execution of that idea. I would also like to share with you that I have been a member for a year now and I've started a total of six threads, including my intro in Hi I'm New. You have been here for less than two weeks and you've already started three topics.
Slow down. Ease into things. It's the best way to get people to like you so you can post topics like this later and not get flamed for it.
Also, on and unrelated and unproven note, I think people will take you more seriously once you get an avatar. Just saying.
